At present, a very scary and worrying news is coming out from the neighboring country Nepal, which has increased the heartbeats in the border areas of India as well. The water level of Nepal's destructive and notorious Bhotekoshi River has once again started rising rapidly, threatening new floods and devastation in the low-lying areas. Due to incidents like continuous torrential rains and cloud bursts in the hilly areas for the last few days, the water of this major river has crossed its normal level. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Nepal administration and local disaster management bodies have declared high alert in all the sensitive areas around the river and people are being given strict instructions to move to safe places. The history of the orgy of Bhotekoshi river is very old and whenever the water level of this river increases, the possibility of huge devastation increases in Nepal as well as in the border districts of India. The district administration and security forces are fully prepared so that any emergency situation can be dealt with immediately and the life and property of the general public can be protected. The main reasons for torrential rains and uncontrolled rise in water level in the hilly areas of Nepal are that these days the weather patterns have completely changed in the Himalayan regions and upper areas of Nepal, due to which continuous heavy rains are continuing. According to the report of the Meteorological Department, the strong flow of water from the mountain slopes is directly mixing with the water stream of Bhotekoshi river, due to which the velocity of the river and its water level are continuously moving towards dangerous levels. According to the data released by local hydrological stations, the water flow is increasing so fast that there is excessive pressure on the river embankments. The possibility of cloud burst or sudden flash flood in the hilly areas cannot be ruled out, which has the potential to cause huge devastation in low-lying areas within a few minutes. The Disaster Management Department of the Government of Nepal has already issued a warning to the hydropower projects, dams and local settlements built on the banks of the river to be prepared to deal with any possible threat. Due to this unexpected water rise, there is a possibility of serious damage to the bridges, roads and infrastructure around the river, due to which the traffic can be completely disrupted. Uneasiness increased in the border areas of India too, keeping a close eye on the rising water level of Kosi and Bhotekoshi. The water of Bhotekoshi river later mainly meets the Kosi river system, which has a direct impact on the border districts of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh of India. In view of the dangers of such natural disasters and floods in Nepal, the Indian administrative staff has also come on full alert mode. The Water Resources Department and the Central Water Commission (CWC) are in constant touch with the water measurement centers located in Nepal and are closely monitoring the incoming data every hour. An announcement has been made in the villages of the border areas so that people avoid going near the river and also take their cattle to safe places. Keeping in mind the bitter experiences of previous disasters, this time the district administration has already kept relief and rescue teams fully prepared, so that if the water level rises further, the rescue operation can be conducted without any delay. Lines of worry can also be clearly seen on the foreheads of local farmers and villagers, because their fertile crops and houses are located very close to the flow area of the river. Promptness of disaster management and administration, appeal to citizens to go to safe places, taking timely precautionary measures is the biggest weapon to reduce the damage caused by any natural disaster, and at present the administrations of Nepal and India are adopting this strategy. The local administration of Nepal has started continuously warning the people living on the river banks through loudspeakers that they should leave their homes and go to safe higher places. Police and Disaster Response Force (DRF) have been deployed in sensitive areas so that immediate relief can be provided in case of any emergency. Meteorologists estimate that the weather pattern may remain like this for the next 24 to 48 hours, hence it is very important to be cautious. The general public is also being appealed not to pay attention to any kind of rumors spreading on social media, but only follow the official bulletin and guidelines issued by the district administration. Humans certainly seem helpless in front of this monstrous form of nature, but by taking alertness and understanding at the right time, massive loss of life can be avoided, and this is the reason why the administration is in no mood to show any kind of laxity this time.
